The next road laid out was one from Jacksonburgh to Spring Arbor, surveyed by John T. Durand, who had succeeded Mr. Stratton. Being a very correct and practical surveyor Mr. D. was thenceforth employed in all public and private surveys, although as yet there was no county organization by which he could be elected. In 1833. however, the county was organized, and John T. Durand elected county surveyor.

Roads were subsequently opened and worked, as settlements were advanced. The Indian trails leading to various sections were for some time the real roads, and many of the earliest territorial and county highways were laid very nearly upon or contignons to those once deeply worn, and smooth paths of the red men.

A YEAR'S LABORS.

During 1830 the little colony had gained a population of over 120 souls; 25 log-houses and shanties had been built; a saw- mill had been erected and put in operation, and a considerable amount of summer crops-corn, potatoes and vegetables-had been raised. The breaking plow had been kept running, and many fields had been sown to wheat to supply the wants of the coming year. The river had been spanned by a log bridge, the logs being split into plank, spotted and laid on the stringers like sawed plank. A large amount of hay had been put up for winter use if needed. All these improvements were the neces- sary beginnings of a new settlement in the unbroken forest. Very fortunately the community was in the possession of good health dur- ing that year and enabled them to perform. as one of their number worded it, " a prodigious amount of work preparatory to a winter in the West, a winter of whose mildness or severity we knew little. That winter was one of unusual severity; so our neighbors, the Nitche Nobies, informed us, and the provision we had made for it was insufficient; so that the erection of temporary sheds was found necessary to protect our cattle, etc., from the cold and chill- ing storms. "

The foregoing pages set forth very fully the labors of the immi- grants. For a few brief years they battled with every obstacle, industriousty, honorably, earnestly, and ultimately raised their adopted land from a wilderness to a little republic, where peace and good will reigned. It has been truly said that the value of immigrants is not to be measured by the coin they bring in their pockets. Of infinitely greater worth are the physical vigor and acquired industrial skill of the immigrants themselves. As to the rate at which these ought to be appraised, opinion will differ widely, for all estimates of their valne are necessarily more or less speen- lative. We cannot apply to this wealth-producing power the brutal though fairly conclusive test which fixed the value of slave labor by the price it brought under the hammer of the auctioneer.

HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.

It is only by indirect and imperfect modes that any idea of its worth ean be obtained, and so intricate is the problem that little reliance can be placed upon the most elaborate calculations. For our present purpose, however, it is not necessary that any very minnte estimates should be attempted. The work of the settlers of Jackson county cannot be reduced to figures. Their labors are above all price. They exercised their physical and mental facul- ties almost at the same moment, and all combined to elevate the village which they raised in the wilderness to the position of a city, at once prosperous and elegant. In the following pages the primary land transactions of the county are recorded, and some important events described.

THE FIRST PURCHASERS OF THE FERTILE ACRES.

As early as 1826-'7 a tract of land, beginning two and a half miles north of the city boundary, and extending along Grand river north of the An Foin, now Portage branch, was in the pos- session of an Indian band, under a Russian named Peter Riley, or O'Reilly. This land he desired to dispose of, and by the following letters patent he obtained the necessary permission, so that very soon it passed out of his hands :

WHEREAS, By the third article of the treaty made and concluded at Chicago, in the State of Illinois, between Lewis Cass and Solomon Sibley, Commissioners of the United States, and the Ottawa, Chippewa, and Pottawatomie Indians, on the 29th day of August, 1821, there is granted to Peter Riley, the son of Me-naw-cum- e-go-qua, one section of land at the mouth of the River Au Foin, on the Grand river, with a provision that the lands granted by the said third article "shall never he leased or conveyed by the said grantees or their heirs to any persons whatever without the permission of the President of the United States; "

AND WHEREAS, The said Peter Riley, having obtained the permission of the Presi- dent of the United States to sell and convey the land granted to him by the said article, has made an assignment of the same unto John R. Williams, of the City of Detroit ;

There is therefore granted by the United States unto the said John R. Williams, as assignee of Peter Riley, the tracts of land reserved for the said Peter Riley, being the west half of the southwest quarter of section one, containing 80 acres ; the southeast quarter of section two, containing 160 acres; the north part of the south- west fractional quarter of section two, containing 62 acres and 23-100th's of an acre ; the south part of the southwest fractional quarter of section two, containing 72 acres and 60-100th's of an acre : the north part of the northeast fraction of the north half of section eleven, containing 102 acres; the south half of the northeast quarter of section eleven, containing 80 acres ; and the west half of the northwest quarter of section twelve, containing 80 acres; in township two south, of range one west, in the Southern Land District of the Territory of Michigan :

To have and to hold the said tracts, with the appartenances, unto the said John R. Williams, as assignee of Peter Riley, the son of Me-naw-cum-e-go-qua, and to his heirs and assigns for ever.

In testimony whereof, I, John Quincy Adams, President of the United States, have caused these letters to be made patent, and the seal of the General Land Office to be hereunto affixed.

Given under my hand at the City of Washington, the sixteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States the fifty-first.

By the President. J. Q. ADAMS.

The next patent was issued to Horace Blackman, who repre- sented his father, Lemuel. It proves beyond doubt that he was the first patentee house builder, and therefore may claim the title of the first settler; although his visit to New York, and consequent absence from his new home, gave others the opportunity to enter upon a permanent residence before him. The following is a copy of the letters patent :

WHEREAS, Horace Blackman, of Tioga county, New York, has deposited in the General Land Office of the United States a certificate of the Register of the Land Office at Monroe, whereby it appears that full payment has been made by the said Horace Blackman, according to the provisions of the act of Congress of the 24th of April, 1820, entitled, " An act making further provisions for the sale of the public lands," for the southeast quarter of section 34, in township two south, of range one west, in the district of lands offered for sale at Monroe, Michigan territory, con- taining 160 acres, according to the official plat of the survey of the said lands, returned to the General Land Office by the Surveyor General, which said tract has been purchased by the said Horace Blackman ;

NOW KNOW YE, That the United States of America, in consideration of the prem- ises, and in conformity with the several acts of Congress in such case made and provided, have given and granted, and by these presents do give and grant, the said tract of land above described unto the said Horace Blackman and to his heirs and assigns for ever.

In testimony whereof, I, Andrew Jackson, President of the United States of America, have caused these letters to be made patent, and the seal of the General Land Office to be hereunto affixed.

Given under my hand at the City of Washington, the tenth day of November. in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty, and of the Independ- ence of the United States the fifty-fifth.

ANDREW JACKSON.

In 1531 a patent was issued to Jeremiah Bennett, on presenta- tion of a duplicate certificate of purchase made at the Monroe Land Office in 1830. This document is recorded in the office of the Registrar of Deeds of Jackson county. In it the extent of the second purchase is laid down, and the signature of President Jackson attached :

WHEREAS, Jeremiah Bennett, of Genesee county, New York, has deposited in the General Land Office of the United States a certificate of the Register of the Land Office at Monroe, Michigan, according to the provisions of the act of Congress of the 24th of April, 1820, entitled, " An act making further provision for the sale of the public lands," for the northwest quarter of section two, in township three, south of range one west, in the district of land subject to sale at Monroe, Michigan, contain- ing 161 acres and 99-100th's of an acre, according to the official plat of the survey of the said lands returned to the General Land Office by the Surveyor General, which said tract has been purchased by the said Jeremiah Bennett ;

NOW KNOW YE, That the United States of America, in consideration of the prem- ises, and in conformity with the several acts of Congress in such case made and provided, have given and granted. and by these presents do give and grant, unto the said Jeremiah Bennett and to his heirs the said tract above described, to have and to hold the same, together with all the rights, privileges, immunities, and appartenances of whatsoever nature thereunto belonging, unto the said Jeremiah Bennett and to his heirs and assigns forever.

In testimony whereof, I, Andrew Jackson, President of the United States of America, have cansed these letters to be made PATENT, and the seal of the General Land Office to be hereunto affixed.

Given under my hand at the city of Washington, the fourth day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-one, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States the fifty-fifth.

HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.

The purchase made by B. H. Packard is cotemporary with the Bennett transaction, and in the patent of which the following is a copy, the location and extent of land bonght by him, is set forth :

WHEREAS, Benjamin H. Packard, of Washtenaw County, Michigan, has depos- ited in the Land-Office of the United States, a certificate of the Register of the Land Office at Monroe, Michigan, whereby it appears that full payment has been made by the said Benjamin H. Packard, according to the provisions of the act of Con- gress of the 24th April, 1820, for the north east quarter of section three, in township three south, of range one west, in the district of lands subject to sale at Monroe, Michigan, containing 162 acres, and 77-100 of an acre, according to the official plat of survey of said lands, which said tract has been purchased by Benjamin H. Pack- ard;

NOW KNOW YE, That the United States of America. in consideration of these premises, and in conformity with the several acts of Congress, have given and granted unto the said Benjamin H. Packard, and to his heirs, the said tract of land above described, to have and to hold the same, together with all the rights, privi- leges, immunities and appurtenances thereunto belonging to the said Benjamin H. Packard, his heirs and assigns forever.

This document, like those offered to Messrs. Bennett and Black man, were signed by Andrew Jackson, President. and Elijah Hay ward, General Land-Commissioner.

A WRITER DEALING IN LAND.

The emigration excitement in the Eastern States between 1827 and 1840 was participated in by Washington Irving, as well as many other publicists of the time. Hle purchased a traet of land in the county, and formed the intention of coming here to live; but as the following power of attorney will show, his enthusiasm abated, and he resolved to remain East :

sold to John Bradbury, of Maine, and the same year, 1836, he dis- posed of his interest to Wm. J. Moody, in 5,760 acres of land. This was a year of trading. W. J. Moody sold his real estate near the present City of St. Paul, Minn., to Abram F. Bolton, for the sum of $800, and the agreement was signed in presence of Henry Chapman, Justice of Peace of Jackson county.
